Coin Laundry

What can I say, I wish this laundry mat was around the corner from my block. It had solid washing machines in all sizes: large machines $ 6, medium $ 4.50, and small $ 2.50. I was impressed how good it washed my thick blankets and my guy’s dirty jeans.
The dryers were the best! I didnt have to add quarter after quarter to dry my clothes. Most of the time I do this in other laundry mats and the clothes still come out damp. Not at this place! This place is legit. There’s parking in the back and a friendly attendant. I could only imagine the laundry mat is a bit tight during the weekends since they only have 20 machines. Im happy with the results, overall.

Very clean laundrymat. Bathroom has no sink to wash your hands. There is parking in the back and always plenty of street parking.
Norma is the best!!! She also is a great listener if you need encouragement!!!

We dropped off 20 lbs of laundry for them to do. They threw away our laundry bags, lost one sock, one pair of long under wear were all torn up. They did not want to take responsibility for any of it. We would never go back again.

This isn’t a bad laundromat. Due to the apartment being nearby and having been to Theresa’s laundromat that’s down the street, this one is more spacious and has two spin machines (I don’t know what they’re called but you put your clothes in there after you washed them so they can have excess water drained and detergent washed from your clothes). This is just for $ 0.50 and I end up saving a few quarters from the dryer (around 8 minutes per $ 0.25).
I think I prefer coming here for the dryer and drainer/​spinning machine.

When a washing machine ate my quarters today, the very inconvenienced woman employed at Coin Laundry actually had to get up from her chair to accuse me of lying to her.
I was a bit taken aback.
She told me to put «more money» in, which I did, and upon seeing that I was not, in fact, lying to a complete stranger on my first visit to a neighborhood laundromat, she reimbursed me.
Well, almost. She gave me back what she thought I might have spent, but only after I wrote down my name & phone number for her. I did not argue, just took the money minus a couple dollars & did my laundry in another machine.

Well 8 days later and my dryer still isn’t working, having a husband and 3 year old our laundry is piling up. While my hubby has been quite the handyman lately this project is in need of a professional but until then I was in a bind and ended up in Bridgeport to do my 8 loads!
How did I end up in BP? Well my son had Chinese school that day so I had JUST 2 hour to complete my task while he’s there. A mission not as easy as I remember during my college days. I went to 2 locations and bummed they where closed but nifty Unilocal guided me here. The lady/​attendant was super sweet. She helped/​saved me! I totally forgot how to use a coin washer. Oh I have to put $ 1.75 in quarters– 3 times to make my super duper washer work?! I didn’t know! I felt Like a princess for a minute. She rescued me and even watched my laundry for 15 minutes while I ran out to get a much needed/​deserved coffee! I was sweating and stressing, I’m dramatic, I know!
But whoo hoo… Less than 20 bucks later-​Mission Complete!
Now I realize I am super super grateful for the small things in life– a working washer and dryer!
5.75 for large load (equals 3 small loads)
Smaller washer options starting at $ 3.00
Dryers: .25 cents per 9 minutes
Folding tables
And .85 cents per pound drop off service
(Includes washing, dry, fold and hang)

Clean and everything I imagine a laundromat to be –open 5am — 9pm daily
This is the only laundromat I’ve ever used since my parents had laundry machines, and now this one is the closest to my apartment.
Not really sure what to say so here’s a list of what I’ve noticed:
Various size machines
carts
benches
folding tables
coin machine
vending machine
drop of service (charged per pound)
centrifuges
sell detergent, laundry bags, dryer sheets, etc
small tv with poor reception
could always find an attendant

I’m really not sure how to review a laundromat. It’s merely a place you go to when you don’t want your clothes to be stinky anymore. And when I go here with my stinky clothes, by the time I’m home they are no longer stinky, so this place serves its purpose.
I can’t really write a review for this place like a restaurant — that you should come to this place because they have something special on the menu — although they do at least have laundry products for sale in case you’ve run out or headed to the laundromat in hopes that throwing clothes in a washing machine by themselves would magically clean them and were proved wrong.
If you’re the type who didn’t plan things out and bring something to entertain yourself with during the laundry process, there’s one small television that you can watch and usually hear — and it’s thankfully tuned to an English-​speaking channel. So during the daytime hours they’ve got those courtroom TV shows, and in the evening you can watch whatever semi-​decent prime-​time shows happen to be on that one channel.
Or you can just use the drop-​off service and come back tomorrow — which is a good idea, as long as you’re not like me and delayed the destinkification of clothes to the point where all you’ve got left to wear is an old Hallowe’en costume and to delay the procurement of non-​stinky clothes one more day would mean having to go to work naked.
If you want to know why I come here — it’s because it’s the closest laundromat to my apartment and that’s a major factor for me in choosing a laundromat because that determines how far I have to lug twenty pounds of stinky clothes that I need to have no longer stink.
I know that «right by my apartment» isn’t much of a ringing endorsement, but if you happen to live by my apartment in Bridgeport, I’d recommend this place. If you don’t live by my apartment, all I can offer you is that this place is a decent laundromat and maybe if you drag your twenty pounds of stinky clothes that extra distance to visit this place, there’s a very slight chance you’ll see a bearded fat man in a purple crushed-​velvet Britney Spears outfit who obviously had nothing else clean to wear.
